Read the below and try to tell me what Trump actually believes on nuclear proliferation.&nbsp; It's like he is a drunk crazy person from North Philadelphia:<br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">COOPER:&nbsp; Let's talk about nuclear issues because you talked about this in a really interesting article in The New York Times.<br /><br /> TRUMP:&nbsp; One of the very, very big issues.&nbsp; I think maybe the biggest issue of our time.<br /><br /> COOPER:&nbsp; That's what you said to The New York Times.&nbsp; You said you worried about the proliferation of nuclear weapons…<br /><br /> TRUMP:&nbsp; Right.<br /><br /> COOPER:&nbsp; … the most.&nbsp; You also said, though, that you might support Japan and South Korea developing nuclear weapons of their own.&nbsp; Isn't that completely contradictory?<br /><br /> TRUMP:&nbsp; No, not at all.&nbsp; Look, you have North Korea has nuclear weapons.&nbsp; And he doesn't have a carrier yet but he has got nuclear weapons.&nbsp; He soon will have.&nbsp; We don't want to pull the trigger.&nbsp; We're just - you know, we have a president, frankly, that doesn't - nobody is afraid of our president.&nbsp; Nobody respects our president.<br /> You take a look at what's going on throughout the world.&nbsp; It's not the country that it was.<br /><br /> COOPER:&nbsp; But if you're concerned about proliferation, letting other countries get nuclear weapons, isn't that proliferation?<br /><br /> TRUMP:&nbsp; No, no.&nbsp; We owe $19 $trillion, we have another $2 trillion because of the very, very bad omnibus budget that was just signed.&nbsp; It's a disgrace, which gives everything that Obama wanted.&nbsp; We get nothing.&nbsp; They get everything.<br /> So that's going to be $21 trillion.&nbsp; We are supporting nations now, militarily, we are supporting nations like Saudi Arabia which was making during the good oil days which was a year ago, now they're making less but still a lot, $1 billion a day.<br /> We are supporting them, militarily, and pay us a fraction, a fraction of what they should be paying us and of the cost.&nbsp; We are supporting Japan.&nbsp; Most people didn't even know that.&nbsp; Most people didn't know that we are taking care of Japan's military needs.&nbsp; We're supporting…<br /> (CROSSTALK)<br /> <br />TRUMP:&nbsp; Excuse me, excuse me, we're supporting Germany.&nbsp; We're supporting South Korea.&nbsp; I order thousands of television sets because I am in the real estate business, you know, in my other life, OK.<br /> <br />COOPER:&nbsp; It has been a U.S. policy for decades to prevent Japan from getting a nuclear weapon.<br /> <br />TRUMP:&nbsp; That might be policy, but maybe…<br /> <br />COOPER:&nbsp; South Korea as well.<br /> <br />TRUMP:&nbsp; Can I be honest are you?&nbsp; Maybe it's going to have to be time to change, because so many people, you have Pakistan has it, you have China has it.&nbsp; You have so many other countries are now having it…<br /> <br />COOPER:&nbsp; So some proliferation is OK?<br /> <br />TRUMP:&nbsp; No, no, not proliferation.&nbsp; I hate nuclear more than any.&nbsp; My uncle was a professor was at MIT, used to (AUDIO GAP) nuclear, he used to tell me about the problem.<br /> <br />COOPER:&nbsp; But that's contradictory about Japan and South Korea.<br /> <br />TRUMP:&nbsp; (AUDIO GAP) Iran is going to have it very - within…<br /> <br />COOPER:&nbsp; But that's proliferation.<br /> <br />TRUMP:&nbsp; Excuse me, one of the dumbest I've ever seen signed ever, ever, ever by anybody, Iran is going to have it within 10 years.&nbsp; Iran is going to have it.&nbsp; I thought it was a very good interview in The New York Times.<br /> <br />COOPER:&nbsp; So you have no problem with Japan and South Korea having…<br /> <br />TRUMP:&nbsp; I thought…<br /> (CROSSTALK)<br /> <br />COOPER:&nbsp; … nuclear weapons.<br /> <br />TRUMP:&nbsp; At some point we have to say, you know what, we're better off if Japan protects itself against this maniac in North Korea, we're better off, frankly, if South Korea is going to start to protect itself, we have…<br /> <br />COOPER:&nbsp; Saudi Arabia, nuclear weapons?<br /> <br />TRUMP:&nbsp; Saudi Arabia, absolutely.<br /> <br />COOPER:&nbsp; You would be fine with them having nuclear weapons?<br /> <br />TRUMP:&nbsp; No, not nuclear weapons, but they have to protect themselves or they have to pay us.<br /> Here's the thing, with Japan, they have to pay us or we have to let them protect themselves.<br /> <br />COOPER:&nbsp; So if you said, Japan, yes, it's fine, you get nuclear weapons, South Korea, you as well, and Saudi Arabia says we want them, too?<br /> <br />TRUMP:&nbsp; Can I be honest with you?&nbsp; It's going to happen, anyway.&nbsp; It's going to happen anyway.&nbsp; It's only a question of time.&nbsp; They're going to start having them or we have to get rid of them entirely.<br /> But you have so many countries already, China, Pakistan, you have so many countries, Russia, you have so many countries right now that have them.<br /> Now, wouldn't you rather in a certain sense have Japan have nuclear weapons when North Korea has nuclear weapons?&nbsp; And they do have them.&nbsp; They absolutely have them.&nbsp; They can't - they have no carrier system yet but they will very soon.<br /> Wouldn't you rather have Japan, perhaps, they're over there, they're very close, they're very fearful of North Korea, and we're supposed to protect.<br /> <br />COOPER:&nbsp; So you're saying you don't want more nuclear weapons in the world but you're OK with Japan and South Korea having nuclear weapons?<br /> <br />TRUMP:&nbsp; I don't want more nuclear weapons.&nbsp; I think that - you know, when I hear Obama get up and say the biggest threat to the world today is global warming, I say, is this guy kidding?<br /> The only global warming - the only global warming I'm worried about is nuclear global warming because that's the single biggest threat.&nbsp; So it's not that I'm a fan - we can't afford it anymore.&nbsp; We're sitting on a tremendous bubble.&nbsp; We're going to be - again, $21 trillion.&nbsp; We don't have money.</blockquote>libertarian neoconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03913115139075583176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146271874488649708.post-62455500231233023042016-03-31T06:56:00.002-07:002016-03-31T06:56:49.001-07:00Gotta say I love this new Ted Cruz ad<iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vuEZbrcKe4Y" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>libertarian neoconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03913115139075583176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146271874488649708.post-54860729642647723992016-03-29T14:33:00.001-07:002016-03-29T14:33:02.274-07:00After watching this video of Amanda Carpenter there is no way to think that Trump isn't scum<iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/16eCU-P6ksw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>libertarian neoconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03913115139075583176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146271874488649708.post-17515775579271738312016-03-24T13:11:00.002-07:002016-03-24T13:11:40.183-07:00Wow, Ted Cruz is pissedDonald Trump really should stop targeting Heidi Cruz:<br /><br /><iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/p_qBjmvywYs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>libertarian neoconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03913115139075583176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146271874488649708.post-89251423108352845892016-03-10T12:57:00.002-08:002016-03-10T12:57:35.798-08:00Mike Lee: We don't have to settle anymore<iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-HHnEzGDBoE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>libertarian neoconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03913115139075583176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146271874488649708.post-29711718748638764252016-03-10T03:26:00.002-08:002016-03-10T03:26:39.901-08:00Cruz: Donald Trump is telling it like it is, he's telling us he's lying<iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-k2t_AXk1zU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>libertarian neoconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03913115139075583176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146271874488649708.post-2857382402806921082016-03-05T04:08:00.003-08:002016-03-05T04:08:39.578-08:00Watch Ted Cruz at CPAC<iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/scRB41pvHEg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>libertarian neoconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03913115139075583176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146271874488649708.post-41637043949597063282016-03-03T11:52:00.001-08:002016-03-03T11:52:04.932-08:00Trump said he couldn't answer the KKK question because he didn't know if the Federation of Jewish Philanthropists is involvedBecause white supremacists and Jews get along so well I guess:<br /><br /><br /><iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/V0NB1ZRfRoU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>libertarian neoconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03913115139075583176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146271874488649708.post-71198610862461771442016-03-03T09:57:00.005-08:002016-03-03T09:57:48.290-08:00A powerful speech from Mitt RomneyAlso, important is that he views Ted Cruz as an acceptable alternative to Trump:<br /><br /><br /><iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0xd3kr-QpeM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>libertarian neoconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03913115139075583176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146271874488649708.post-91336177499587069662016-03-02T06:33:00.001-08:002016-03-02T06:33:21.177-08:00Lindsey Graham: It may be time to rally behind Ted Cruz to stop TrumpThis is pretty shocking considering how much Lindsey Graham hates Ted Cruz:<br /><br /><br /><iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KgXjyERUgj8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>libertarian neoconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03913115139075583176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146271874488649708.post-3753036019490472062016-03-02T06:30:00.000-08:002016-03-02T06:30:10.390-08:00Cruz's Super Tuesday Speech<iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Tk4zm7m9iyk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>libertarian neoconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03913115139075583176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146271874488649708.post-89314439450511868102016-03-01T13:41:00.000-08:002016-03-01T13:41:08.369-08:00Mark my words, if given the opportunity, Rubio will betray the #NeverTrump folks and that movement will melt awayThe #NeverTrump hashtag has become very popular, especially with the conservative cool kids but I believe it has probably already reached its high water mark or will soon.&nbsp; It's March 1st today and as someone who has usually picked the most conservative candidate in previous Presidential contests, I'm very familiar to losing and the emotions that go with it. Last go around, on April 25, 2012, I wrote <a href="http://libertarian-neocon.blogspot.com/2012/04/screw-gop-they-dont-seem-to-want-my.html">"Screw the GOP, they don't seem to want my vote anyway"</a> in which I quit the GOP and endorsed Gary Johnson.&nbsp; Let's just say that way of thinking didn't survive to November and by then I was very pro-Mitt Romney (at least in a race vs. Obama).&nbsp; Once the heat of the moment passes, you think about things in a more practical way like "do I really want the Democrats in office for another four years" and suddenly you don't hate the target of your hatred so much anymore.&nbsp; So this natural progression is probably enough to doom #NeverTrump anyway but there is another reason why I think it is doomed.&nbsp; Marco Rubio.<br /><br />I know Marco Rubio has been attacking Trump on a very personal basis in the last week but at some point he is going to realize that he isn't going to win the nomination and if Trump is the one winning, he will go begging to the Trumpster to be his VP no matter what he says.&nbsp; Why would he do this?&nbsp; Because he has no other choice.&nbsp; He already said he won't be running for re-election to the Senate and probably wouldn't win if he did (he only has 31% of the Florida electorate viewing him favorably according to <a href="http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2016/02/trump-leads-rubio-even-head-to-head-in-florida.html">PPP Polling</a>).&nbsp; Those numbers also indicate that he probably couldn't be elected Governor in 2018 either.&nbsp; So if he wants to stay in elected politics, being Trump's VP will be his best option (and Trump will love to have Rubio crawl back to him begging).&nbsp;<br /><br />It just seems so inevitable that he will betray #NeverTrump just like he betrayed all those voters who went with him because he claimed to be anti-amnesty.&nbsp; And once he does so, all the establishment opposition to Trump will melt away as how can they go against their golden boy Rubio, the man next in line to be President?&nbsp; Sure, there will be some refuseniks but it will probably be about the same number of people who didn't vote for Mitt either.libertarian neoconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03913115139075583176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146271874488649708.post-36934656621336691332016-02-22T13:24:00.000-08:002016-02-22T13:24:13.717-08:00There is no realistic way for Rubio to get greater than 50% of the delegatesI know people keep saying that we've only had 3 states vote and so there is plenty of time for the race to turn around for Rubio, who has yet to win a single state, especially now that he is getting establishment support.&nbsp; I really don't think so, the math is just very daunting.&nbsp; You just have to realize that by the end of March 15th, 59.9% of the delegates will have been allocated.&nbsp; Is there any scenario here where Rubio does well and gets large amounts of delegates when there will be four major candidates competing, Trump, Cruz, Rubio and Kasich (who says he is in the race at least until after the OH primary on March 15)?&nbsp;<br /><br />Let's assume that Rubio runs the table after March 15th, taking every single state, including Trump's home state of NY and other northeastern liberal states where Trump should do well like NJ and CT (note, that in the latest <a href="http://media.wix.com/ugd/3bebb2_d5ea765bda3b4fa580d9d6e2908ea509.pdf">MA poll</a>, Trump is winning by 34 points, with 50% of the vote).&nbsp; Well, that's still 40% of the delegates, he also needs to get 245 more delegates before the end of March 15th in order to get to the magic 1,237 delegate number.&nbsp; Even getting to 245 (about 16.5% of the total) will be extremely tough.&nbsp; Most states are deep red states where Trump and Cruz should finish 1 or 2.&nbsp; Other states, like Massachusetts are very liberal and would likely go heavily towards Trump.&nbsp; Heck at this point it's not even clear Rubio is going to carry Florida on the 15th.&nbsp; While 245 delegates out of 1,480 doesn't sound like a lot, you have to understand that so far he has 10 out of 103, so less than 10% of the total allocated.<br /><br />Regardless on whether than 245 is doable, we have to understand that there is zero chance of him running the table at the end.&nbsp; If you just eliminate NY, NJ and CT, which I believe are core Trump states, that takes 174 delegates off the table and makes him now get 419 by the end of March 15th or 28% of the total up to that point.&nbsp; I really don't see how he could possibly get that much in a 4 way race with lots of Trump and Cruz friendly states in the mix.&nbsp; Plus, winning with 419 still requires him to win in places like PA and WV (105 delegates total), which are heavily blue-collar and very Trump oriented.&nbsp; It also requires him to win Cruz friendly states like SD, MT and NE (92 total).&nbsp;<br /><br />Note that <a href="http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/beware-a-gop-calendar-front-loaded-with-states-friendly-to-trump-and-cruz/">Nate Silver</a> estimates that Rubio will need to have 632 delegates through March 15th with is 43% of the total while in a 4 way race where states are apportioned proportionally.&nbsp; Again, I just don't see any realistic way that this could happen.<br /><br /><br />libertarian neoconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03913115139075583176noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146271874488649708.post-87820542724273324902016-02-21T06:26:00.002-08:002016-02-21T06:33:02.454-08:00Why I might prefer Trump to RubioNo, I didn't have a brain tumor for breakfast, it's just last night's loss in South Carolina had me thinking, if Ted Cruz doesn't do well on Super Tuesday, I might have to make a choice.&nbsp; For if Cruz isn't able to get a heap of delegates and state wins in the SEC primary, what exactly will be his path to victory?&nbsp; He has focused his campaign on social issues and immigration which I've said time and time again is a mistake.&nbsp; People care about the economy, people care about jobs and he should have focused on those issues.&nbsp; Instead, Trump did and many of the people Cruz was targeting went to Trump instead.&nbsp; Cruz can still turn it around but, in the case that he doesn't, I'm going to have to make a choice between two candidates I really hate, Trump and Rubio.&nbsp; And despite all the bad things I have said about Trump, I might actually prefer him to Rubio.<br /><br />Now I know, Rubio's voting record is only a little less conservative than Ted Cruz's so how does it make sense that I choose someone like Trump over someone who is technically more conservative than Jesse Helms?&nbsp; Because I don't trust Rubio's record.&nbsp; I think many of his votes he just went along with the conservative crowd because he needed to have a conservative record for the election and he didn't particularly care about the issue.&nbsp; When you look at the issues he does care about, foreign policy/national security, and immigration, there is a lot I really don't like.<br /><br />On national security, he has thrown in with John McCain and Lindsey Graham, with no civil liberty that isn't worth stomping on and no dictator that is not worth overthrowing.&nbsp; He was in favor of overthrowing Qaddafi, when we had zero national interest for doing so, and he is currently for putting boots on the ground in Syria, again, where we have zero national interest.&nbsp; His foreign policy adventurism will be expensive and is something we can't afford.&nbsp; Try balancing the budget when you are throwing money at the military AND are sending troops everywhere.<br /><br />On immigration, he obviously threw in with the Democrats in trying to legalize millions of illegal aliens while only paying lip service to border security.&nbsp; His list of wrongdoing here is pretty extensive so if you want a complete rundown, check out what the conservative legend <a href="http://www.eagleforum.org/immigration/rubio-record.html#.VrZSOyTXb3U.twitter">Phyllis Schlafly</a> has to say about it (seriously there just is so much, from broken promises to defeating amendments that would have not allowed legal status for gang members).&nbsp; And obviously, we all know, if Rubio is President the wall will NEVER EVER be built and the invasion along our southern border will continue.<br /><br />I have this feeling that in many ways a Rubio administration will be a lot like a third term for George W.&nbsp; We will see a lot of military adventurism, spending controls will go out the window and none of the changes that need to be made, will be made.&nbsp; <br /><br />And this is why I think I might prefer Trump.&nbsp; Now, I'm not kidding myself, in many ways he is a Democrat, but I think he will shake things up for the better in certain key areas.&nbsp; First, he believes in a wall along our southern border, which is something we desperately need.&nbsp; Second, he will try to get jobs back into this country by dialing back some of the free trade agreements that have completely gutted our manufacturing base.&nbsp; We don't make anything anymore.&nbsp; Instead of having lots of skilled labor, we have lots of burger flippers and customer service reps.&nbsp; Our country and our economy are dying.&nbsp; Third, he is a businessman who is used to seeing profits (I know he had four bankrupt companies but he has been more profitable than unprofitable) and so the fact that we keep running up yuge deficits will be a problem for him.&nbsp; Fourth, as he said in last night's SC victory speech, he will be appointing businesspeople for government posts instead of just "political hacks".&nbsp; That is something we desperately need as it is the only way we will get real change.&nbsp; Finally, he is very clearly not a military adventurist.&nbsp; Now I don't want to get into an argument of if he opposed the Iraq war or not, it's clear he didn't until after but I don't think it would have been his decision to go in if he were President back then.&nbsp; It's one thing to support something that your President has decided on, it's another to come up with the idea in the first place.<br /><br />And if you haven't noticed, Trump is the one reassembling the Reagan coalition.&nbsp; He has conservatives, moderates, independents and democrats backing him.&nbsp; Even the Teamsters are considering a general election endorsement of him (the last time they did endorse a Republican for President was Reagan).&nbsp; Rubio doesn't have a chance of doing that as he just doesn't have a connection with the white working class.<br /><br />2016 is a very important election and may be one of the last chances we have to elect someone who can actually make a difference.&nbsp; Rubio, he won't be making a difference.&nbsp; It will be just the same old disappointing Republican administration.&nbsp; With Trump, he will shake things up and at least in a few areas, it will be for the better.libertarian neoconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03913115139075583176noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146271874488649708.post-52051438693168618342016-02-19T05:57:00.003-08:002016-02-19T05:57:52.314-08:00Brutal Cruz ad: Rubio sounded exactly like Obama on Amnesty<iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uKcQoFSVvGQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>libertarian neoconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03913115139075583176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146271874488649708.post-82251789610669255222016-02-19T05:48:00.005-08:002016-02-19T05:48:53.956-08:00Ted Cruz's Speech at the Conservative Review ConferenceHere is Ted Cruz's speech at the Conservative Review Conference, aka the conservative conference that Rubio skipped out on (Mark Levin was <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/02/18/mark-levin-pretty-damn-rude-for-marco-rubio-to-bail-on-conservative-review-convention-maybe-he-had-a-meeting-with-la-raza/">pissed</a> and said he was probably at a meeting of La Raza):<br /><br /><br /><iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6TDu3nGx4Ow" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>libertarian neoconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03913115139075583176noreply@blogger.com0
